Beef Feeding Most Profitable In the
East.

Nebraska farmers raise corn at l5c per
bushel Perhaps the feeder could make
more money by buying the farmers corn
at l5c than he could in New England;
but the question is, whether farmers make
more money raising corn at l5c than 10y
raising and feeding it in New England.
We believe there is more money in ordinary
feeding operations in New England than
in Nebraska, for the reason that the New
England farm will be much improved,
and an increase of three or four times
can be made in the crops. But, be that
as it may the question is, What is the
best stock, what kind of cattle are the
best to feed? We believe it will pay to
feed well bred cattle anywhere; scrubs,
we think, will not pay under any circum-
stance And now the question is not as
to where the cattle can be fed, but As to
what kind of cattle can be fed with profit.
When the range was under-stocked there
was no difficulty in making very large
money in breeding and grazing cattle,
but when it becomes over-stocked there
is no remedy losses must come. On the
farms cattle can be bought handled, and
it feed is short it can be bought. Every
year of such farming is making the farmer
richer and more prosperous Breeder''

The Washington Monument.

For number of years there had existed
in the minds of few persons doubts a.
to the sufficient size and stability of the
foundation. These apprehensions be-
coming widespread, joint commission
was appointed by Congress, consisting of
the President of the United States, the
Vice-President of the monument society,
the Chief of Engineers of the Army, and
the architects of the Capitol and Treas
ury, with instructions to make an investi-
CATION of the work already done and to
direct and supervise the completion of
the structure. This joint commission
caused a special Investigation to be made
by capable engineers, who reported that
the foundation was in an unsatisfactory
condition, and that it would be ''unsafe
to subject it to any additional load what
ever The embodiment of these facts in
the commissions first report to Congress
led to the enactment of a joint resolution
June II, 1873, authorizing the expendi-
ture of $3.50, 900, If deemed advisable, in
giving greater stability to the founda-
ton"
An ane cdote of this date related by a
well-known citizen of New York may H.
lustrate the anxiety felt at that period as
to the safety of that structure. President
Hayes had taken out the New Yorker for
an afternoon drive, and the carriage
stopped in front of the monument.

country, he can frame a treaty much
more sagacious and acceptable than
that which was reported, and dperhaps
he has no time to lose, for when the
unlucky shareholders III the De Les
seps company become fully alive to
their predicament, they may see that
their sole hope of recovering their
money depends on their abandoning
the Panama canal and procuring con
cessions from the states controlling
the Nicaragua route. Had they be-
gun work in Nicaragua when they
broke ground in Panama, they would
now be in receipt of tolls for inter
oceanic communication.
